Cím:	The inherently reflexive and the inherently reciprocal predicate in Hungarian : each to their own argument structure / György Rákosi
Dátum:	2008
Megjegyzések:	The paper started with two related problem sets which both have validity beyond Hungarian. First, it was pointed out that even if there is an intuitive understanding of what should be considered an inherently reflexive or an inherently reciprocal predicate, the two classes are not easy to define formally. Second, and related to this, it is not immediately obvious whether the two classes should be distinguished from each other on formal grounds, that is, whether the two relations reflexivity and reciprocity are coded in this domain of language as grammatically distinct or not. On the basis of Hungarian data, I have argued that it is possible to distinguish the two classes at the level of argument structure. I have pointed out that inherent reciprocals do not relate systematically to transitive alternates in Hungarian, but they may have a second argument which I have claimed to bear a secondary Agent-like role, referred to here as Partner. Monadic reciprocals and inherent reflexives are similar in being the outputs of an argument unification process, but they differ in the nature of the second argument that participates in this operation: it is a Patient for reflexives, but a Partner for reciprocals. This results in reflexives showing not only unergative but also unaccusative properties under certain conditions, whereas reciprocals are always unergative technically. This analysis, being presented the way it has been, is expected to have cross-linguistic validity. It is a matter for further research to investigate whether inherently reflexive and reciprocal predicates in other languages behave as the Hungarian ones do. The process of argument unification has been defined to be a lexical operation which creates a role cluster that maps onto syntax disjunctively. The default mapping of a role cluster is unergative. An unaccusative derivation is also licensed for a cluster which includes a Patient role, but this is only possible if the basic lexical form serves as input to a lexical operation that feeds on the presence of a (Proto)-Patient argument. Needles to say, the current proposal should be checked against further empirical domains to see if it has validity beyond what has been my prime concern here: the set of inherently reflexive and reciprocal predicates.
